Homework Statement



Verify that each given function is a solution of the differential equation.
1. ty' - y = t^2 ; y = 3t + t^2

2. y'' + y = sect , 0<t<pi/2 ; y = (cost)ln( cost ) + tsint



The Attempt at a Solution


int (tdy) = int(t^2 + y)dt
which isn't y=3t + t^2

For the second part I'm not sure where to go. Thanks for the help guys.

You are correct sir. I misinterpreted the question it seems. Thanks for the save!
 
When a problem says "verify that such and such is a solution" they are in essence telling you the answer, and just asking for you check it.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
